Transcriptomic analyses of rice (Oryza sativa) genes and non-coding RNAs under nitrogen starvation using multiple omics technologies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nitrogen (N) is a key macronutrient essential for plant growth, and its availability has a strong influence on crop development. The application of synthetic N fertilizers on crops has increased substantially in recent decades; however, the applied N is not fully utilized due to the low N use efficiency of crops. To overcome this limitation, it is important to understand the genome-wide responses and functions of key genes and potential regulatory factors in N metabolism.

Results

Here, we characterized changes in the rice (Oryza sativa) transcriptome, including genes, newly identified putative long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) and their target mRNAs in response to N starvation using four different transcriptome approaches. Analysis of rice gen
